Since late 2004 Uber Lingua has been putting on assorted events around Hobart... the 6 LINGO parties at Sirens (Hi Barry!) fearuring DJs from Sydney, Melbourne, Greece, Japan, Bulgaria and the sub-continent rocked lots of sox.... The early 06 tour of Kenyan Hip Hop crew SINPARE, and other events at the Trout (now the Alley Cat) and Inflight gallery where Uber Lingua performers have featured, have kept the enrgy alive... since 2005 we've been doin a weekly radio in Hobart...
on Edge Radio Saturday nights...
'Hackney Globe Trotter' Russ Jones returns to Australia for an east-coast 'global beats' jaunt in Feb... rocking venues in five cities on his way to his main gig at Womadelaide next month... In each location, he plays alongside the local Uber Lingua crew. Russ is behind some of London's most successful clubs including 'Around the World in 80 Ways', 'London Calling' and 'No Room for Squares' in the mid 90's, and was Artistic Director of legendary jazz venue 'Blue Note'. Guest deejays included luminaries Gilles Peterson, James Lavelle, Fabio, LTJ Bukem & Norman Jay amongst udders. Jones also played a vital role in setting up the celebrated Brazilian record label 'Far Out Recordings'. In the 21st century, Russ has become one of the world's leading 'global beats' DJs. From his seminal club night 'Future World Funk' working alongside regular DJ partner Cliffy, he has gone on to compile over 13 compilation CDs including the two globally renowned volumes of 'Gypsy Beats and Balkan Bangers', and now follows up with 'Arriba La Cumbia: The new sounds of cumbia from around the world'. Always championing new music Russ also had a hand in signing 'Panjabi MC' for his world-wide hit single 'Mundian To Bach Ke' which lead to the bhangra phenomenon crossing over from the UK Asian underground to many a dance-floor.
